So fun for kids (and adults, truth be told!) The sea trek is pretty amazing, it lets you get in the water with rays and small sharks.

One of the largest butterfly lepidopterariums in the US. You start with a very educational movie about the life of a buttergly, then get to see butterflies emerge from their cocoons, and finally you get to roam the butterfly aviary. If you're lucky a butterfly will land on you! A favorite of kids and adults

A fun way to spend the afternoon. Visit the local shops (some are pretty touristy but fun to explore), get something to eat, check out civic center park. After the sun goes down, Scottsdale has a pretty lively nightlife. You can get around by chauffeured golf cart ($10 a rider I believe)

A rustic 28-acre spread of barn-based studios that dates to the 1930s when the surroundings were cattle range rather than residences, and where today about a dozen artists work in wood, clay, paint, print and photography. There’s a public gallery at the entry, but visitors are invited to poke their heads into the work spaces to meet the artists and to shop.
